This is actually a subject of debate for me lately.
What is the 'intent' of 'No notice into EOW' in deals.
The intent is clearly not 'have this stupid race where you have to sit at your computer 24/7 waiting for people to drop early and immediately get a notice in before they can get a hostile, when the game doesn't even immediately update KD pages to show that information' That's stupid.
In my eyes, the intent of that term is that you have eow+notice total amount of time to prepare for a fight, correct?
AKA, I can't just give you my 72h notice the tick someone WDs from war, and then wave you the tick you exit EOW, you instead get your 72h eow, + my 72h notice.
So, if that's the intent of that term, then why does it matter if people give 'notice of notice'. The only way that notice wouldn't be validly served is if the receiving KD is trying to get around the intent of the deal, and we all know what I think about people making deals and then not wanting to be held to them.
Giving notice of notice is if anything a convenience of affirmative heads up that 'yes in fact, we are coming after you'
Nowhere in deals does it say I can't tell you in advance when my notice is happening, just that my notice can't start in hostile/war/eow.
Why are people so hellbent on playing in a situation that encourages ****ty play?

As a more specific question about your situation.
You knew you had a notice and conflict from havoc coming, Sanc had nothing on the horizon.
Isn't it YOUR responsibility to figure out your diplo and CF other threats when you have a conflict coming, not theirs?
